of New England he migrated to the west early in
life. Coming down the Ohio river he determined

During one of these drinking bouts in New Orleans
he threw eleven empty champagne bottles,
one after another, through a hole made
in the wall for stove pipe. He then
told his negro boy who was attending
upon him to get upon the table and set the punch
bowl on his head, and if he failed to knock it off
with an empty bottle lie would decd him his free
dom. Tie negro boy decided upon the ground that
he was afraid lrentss might miss the bowl and
sEike his hoGd-th very thing that would have set

Ireniss illustrating to his mind that the negro was
hardly capable Of freedom.
